Take Off Your Colours Lyrics

You Me At Six Take Off Your Colours

The eyes you bought have gone to my head,
But they won't take you to my bed.
You talk a good game,
But girl, you've been played.
Look at this shade you chose to play.
The towns talk keeps me up to date,
We will never be the same.
This is a war,this is a heart,these are the strings you'll pull.
These are the stakes, they have been raised, it's your call.
Too much has changed, I hate this place but I don't want to leave it this way.

So let's get it straight, without a thought I'll take it away.
That's the price you pay for having luck in the first place.
Call it what you want, I've spent to long under your thumb and now the clouds have had their say.

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends.
Are you comfortable, are you comfortable with this?
You play the lady, I'll play the gent, we will call it time well spent.
But I've been lying, and you're going to hate me for this.

This is the storm,so let it pour, and take over your shores.
Here comes the rain,I'll have my day it's so sore.
Let it be heard, lessons well learnt and it will never hurt like this again.

Take off your colours, who are you wearing them for?
Tick off your lovers, all respect was left at the door.
I had front row seats to you on your knees, it was everything I hoped it be.

I'll make a bet that says we don't leave this place as friends.
Are you comfortable, are you comfortable with this?
You play the lady, I'll play the gent, we will call it time well spent.
But I've been lying, and you're going to hate me for this.
